Are you hurting or sad?

Have you ever felt that nothing good will happen for you? Are you in a situation where you:are being teasedhave recently broken up with someonelost your jobare "lonely" and singledon't have enough money to pay billshave been hurt by someoneabused my someoneare frustrated with life or your careerare being teasedare just sad...?

I could have said YESSSSS, to ALL of these at some point! (I'm sure you can too)...BUT...the good news...whenever I was in these BAD situations....something amazing came out of them!1st thing:IF you ARE SINGLE - this makes room in your life to find someone EVEN MORE AWESOME than the last person...IF you've are being teased...KNOW that the coolest most creative and AMAZING people were teased..told they were horrible at what they did and so on....example: KANDEE in high school -teased!IF you've lost (don't have) a job...this could be the open door to finally force you to start your own business or to go after something more creative or what you really love!!!

I have been in some very "un-hopefull" looking situations...thinking all hope for my dreams and future were gone....but little did I know...because I was put into those situations....it caused something amazing to happen...iex: having all my little people and thinking.."how am I going to keep working 10-15 hours days on tv or photo shoots...."....and I had to moves a ways out of LA..because I was in that situation it allowed me to start all my youtube videos...and now I am inspiring and encouraging people all over the world...that means more to me than any job on a tv set or photo shoot...I really do care about each an everyone one of you that reads this or watches my videos...I want to be a bright spot of love in a sometimes dark and lonely world....REMEMBER: you're more beautiful than you know, more talented than you think, and more loved than you can imagine ~kandee

I love you into your bright and shiny new future!!!! the kandiest of them all!!!

Kandee-- you're an incredible light in this world, talented, uplifting, beautiful, and humble. thanks for the constant great tips of beautifying ourselves from the inside out! Big hugs from a fan in SF.

This is lovely :) at the moment im studying make up and beauty and you have helped me along to do all of this so everytime i read your posts it makes me realise i can do it and will succeed no matter how much everyone laughs at meThanks again Kandee

*~Kandee~*That was beautiful Kandee.. I love it. I'm fortunate to not be going through any of the above and I thank God for that everyday. But I know you saying these kind words will help many girls who may be in a tough situation right now. You are truly loved by many people, including myself.Thank you so much for all your hard work with the Youtube video's. They make my day every time I watch them :o)Have a beautiful day.

Kandee, It's like you read my mind. My good friend just passed away a few hours ago, I can't be there because I'm on the West Coast attending school :( It is nice to remember that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.Pace e bene! <3

Kandee, you are such a sweethearted person with such a lovely and wonderful heart! Thank you so much for this, I've been feeling pretty low lately and this just helped pick me up! Thank you so much for everything you do.. just a kind word can really change a person's day! You are the best and I only wish for nothing but success and happiness for you and your family! :0) Have a fantastic day Kandee!

kandee, to be honest I discovered your videos months ago, and recently i have gotten into sad and more difficult areas of my life. But because of you, my makeup ALWAYS looks DAMN GOOD. Please dont stop!!! I could totally see you with your own tv or talk show someday. the world would love you!

I've known you for such a short time, maybe a couple of months, but I am following Kandee all over the place: youtube, facebook, your blog, I can't get enough of your joie de vivre and all the love you're sharing. Thank you Kandeee for being such a spirit lifter. My life is good, still your words were like a sweet balm for the heart. May you always be kind and sweet and loved!God bless you, darling!

KaNdeE =)You are an angel sent from above! YOu inspire me all the way to SOUTH AFRICA!!!you are truly amazing and cant wait for your next video.I watch your videos all day, my friends cant believe the change in me, and its all because of YOU!"!!

I swear you wrote this for me! I was just blogging last night, how I need a fresh start & all that jazz. Thanking you as well for being a huge inspiration in my life. I've been so down lately and I decided to just be happy and go for my dreams - because of you! I feel my heart bursting because of all the good that can come my way now. Its just starting and I hope I dont crash and burn, but if I do I'll keep trekking. You have been a huge light in my life when I'm down. This is what I wrote on my blog. "I thank Kandee Johnson for giving me the inspiration for this, and bringing light and laughter into my life when I've been upset or depressed. You've inspired me to be happy and to go for what I want in life. Kandee is one of my biggest role models."

Right on time Kandee.....I love love <3 u, you are my insperation....And you seem soo kind and lovely!<3:).....AND I Read You Blog... :) <333I <3 U Kandee!You have soo many good thing´s to say..and they are true! :D

Although I am really blessed right now, and I'm not sad anymore. This blog entry was amazing! I still can not believe there are people in the world as amazing as you. People that TRULY have a heart for people, people who are not selfish, people who are genuine, people who are not afraid of sharing their testimony so that others can benefit....I can only pray that God continues to bless you in uncountable ways. You are and forever will be AMAZING,SIMPLY AMAZING!!

You are such a great inspiration... and your thoughts are so true... I had it real though and now I'm gladly getting better. I'm finding more things to get involved in and becoming move creative. Now I can actually think back of many awkward and embarrassing moments in my life and laugh about it. Something, I never possible thought I would be able to do. Things are not as easy yet but there getting there and I'm determined of making it better.

Thank your for your amazing thoughts it helps me realize that I'm on the right track.

hi kandee,your msg came at the right time for me 2 , my oldest cat was put to sleep 2day being very old and having alot of problems might not seem much to many ppl but watching my daughter 12 distraught and my hubby in tears hurts that little more i know he's in a better place now running about chasing the birds x

wow, how crazy this post just came in the right time. ive been going through some difficutl times lately. I want to change my job coz there is no personal progress but im too scared to start from zero. Oh man, thanks for being an inspiration to all of us.

Thank you Kandee, you make life bright, you make people smile, make them feel beautiful....make them feel like they can take on the world. Every time something ridiculously bad happens you do something to make me happy, I got a letter yesterday from the Superintendent of our public schools, they are going to sue us if we don't pay $300.00 for our kids to go there, I would have to pay $300.00 for my kids to ride the bus also. We can't even pay bills or buy groceries for our five kids. When does it ever end! I know you are "America's Angel" I keep feeling like you are going to get a talk show or something. Can't wait. Starla

Kandee your dreams have come true because you ARE a spot of brightness, love, and hope in the world!!! You make such a difference in all your fans lives; I can't even put it into words. Best I can do is; THANK YOU KANDEE, SO MUCH!!!!

Hey Kandee. Thanks for this. I keep applying to differenct design jobs and each time I'm rejected, I feel okay, because they compliment my work and how enthusiastic I am and they'll keep the resume on file. I know some day it will come to me. If you can do it, so can I.

Kandee! You are such an inspiration to SO many people. I think you bring sunshine to all of us! I love your blog and appreciate all the great things you share! Keep them coming!!! Sincere thanks from a fellow creative soul and mommy, Christine <3

Thank you SOOO much for writing this! My BF and I just broke up a couple days ago and it has to be the most horrible pain Iv ever been through in a relationship! My heart has been shattered but when I watch your videos they give me joy and happiness and it hurts just a little less! Please continue the awesome work!

Wow I just read a super hate comment,I wanted to comment on thatand say that Kandee is just spreading positive energy what we all need no matter in what situation we are.In short what I wanted to say wasthank you Kandee for the very positive words...<3ur great and keep up the great work

Oh Kandee...how do you know what we're going through? I'm 3 out of that list right now...and it seems like there isn't an end in sight. I wish you could be here in person and help me get through this! You are so amazing, that you've had such a hard time in life and yet you are the brightest and most encouraging and upbeat person I know of, it is amazing how you do it. You really do bring me up in spirits, even though I'm just reading it on your blog. Knowing that you do care and have sympathy and relate, it's all so incredible. Thank you for being such a wonderful and caring "friend" on here. Please keep doing what you're doing because it really is the hightlight of my day some days. I've been reading your blog/watching your videos since your very first one, and you are aone of a kind, very special person.

I just saw that very hate filled comment...wow. That is exactly the kind of people that aren't good to be around. So jealous, envious, angry. What is their problem? Because they can't do something, you shouldn't be able to either? F-'em!!

You're a good egg with excellent timing! I'm trying to decide what to do with a 7 year relationship and my own poor health AND I was laid off after 10 years working at my first/only job. I'm trying to decide about going in a completely opposite direction (becoming a patient advocate). I wish for you success, happiness and good health. You deserve it. : )

here is a little piece of advice... instead of WASTING your time coming on here to comment your pathetic rantings and keeping an eye on every move Kandee makes in her personal life (which is neither your or any of our problems), why dont u pick your sorry ass up and do something productive with your time, maybe then YOU can earn some cash to take your kids to disney land.

but no, instead, you try and degrade a very inspiring, loving and ambitious person... whats the matter hunny? hurts you that people dedicate time, tears and effort to what they want out of life?

all those horrible words you wrote reflect YOUR ISSUES. so please, sort them out, funny how u r the only person that keeps on posting horrible things, while the 99.9% of us adore Kandee. its time you realise that, in fact, you are in the wrong.

i pray you find your path and dream of things that contribute postiveness in this world, i hope you find yourself and maybe then you will start to appreciate that all that Kandee does is to put a smile on our faces, and make us feel capable of whatever we want to achieve.

Thank you for saying that! I am feeling very lost right now! I am not working, I am overweight, and I have infertility issues so I havent been able to have a baby either! I feel sad, lost & frustrated! :-( I wish I could find my dream job and find my place in this world!

Thank you for saying that! I am feeling very lost right now! I am not working, I am overweight, and I have infertility issues so I havent been able to have a baby either! I feel sad, lost & frustrated! :-( I wish I could find my dream job and find my place in this world!

Hey Kandee! Your positivity and inspiring words truly touch me and I love that you are so humble and willing to share your talent with the world. The best advice always comes from those how have experienced turmoil at some point in their lives. Thanks soooo much for your encouragement!!

I found my situation into 1 of your points... and now you really made me understand that everything could happen if I want it to be!(hope you understood my "sleppy english"!!) ;)Tks Kandee, you're wonderfull!Love,

Just want to say thank you Kandee for all you do...I love watching your videos and reading your blog. I also wanted to mention that I read that mean comment too...and you can tell that that person didn't even read the whole blog...Kandee said all of these situation have happened to her in the PAST! She works hard and she deserves to spend her money on whatever she pleases...you don't know how long she could have been saving to take her family to Disneyland...she isn't complaining she is trying to help others through tough situations because she herself HAS BEEN through similar situations...Kandee I hope you keep doing what your doing and try to ignore the dumb mean people! Love ya!

Kandee you are so positive and inspiring! I love reading your blog because you always make me smile and give me hope that some day I can feel the same hapiness that you do. Thank you for bringing some joy into my otherwise boring day!

Hey Kandee!!! i always watch your videos and read your blog. Your words really do touch me a lot. Everything that you wrote i am going through right now. Sometimes you just feel really down and need somebody to give you advice to cheer you up. Thank you for you being you and your inspiring words. Hope you have a good day today =]

kandee, you are truly an angel from heaven; you are the sweetest person, i dont even think word can come close to describing you fully.thank you for this. i've been feeling a little depressed lately about a number of things, worrying about things going on, and this last post really got me thinking about all of it, and i feel better now.again, thank you kandee.have you ever thought about writing a book? you could reach more girls that you seem to have an instant connection and understanding with. k

kandee, thank you so much for all of your encouragement. you brighten the days of so many people who don't even know you (but wish they did, trust me!) my sister (a single mom, too) and i worshiped at the house of kandee sunday morning by reading your blog...what an inspiration! we love you! please please keep it up! xoxo

Aww it's been a while since I commented here. :) Thank you so much for this encouraging message, I really needed it. Please do know you are a light and an inspiration in my life and that you are absolutely amazing. Love ya. xoxo

You hit the nail right on the head. Unfortunately, the poor girl seems to be totally consumed with jealously over everything that Kandee has accomplished through her hard work and perserverance. I find that to be sad, don't you? She really needs our prayers.*******************************To: KANDEE

What a sweetheart you are. You are a nice person who seems to genuinely care about us (your "viewers"/"followers") and that is so rare and special. Just so you know: I really appreciate it! I pray for you and your success, safety and happiness & hope that you're truly happy.

Please visit my blogs if you ever get a chance, OK? I'm a writer, so I have a "writing" blog called "Cynde's Got The Write Stuff". Then I also have a "family" blog called "Cynde's Daybook" with pictures of my five-month-old grandson, Noah. If you don't agree that he is absolutely adorable (and I mean REALLY agree with me--not just say so, just so my feelings won't be hurt), then I'll owe you a BIG favor. Check it out...then let me know what you think, OK? He REALLY IS adorable!

sad is an understatement, i cant even think of an appropriate word to describe these people's pathetic attitudes. if they have this horrible attitude towards others, imagine what attitude they have toward their own life?

its sad that kandee has to delete all these comments, and have to read the shameful, lies these ppl make up.

but jealousy is a compliment right? it shows u you are doing something right if ppl start talking this way...

oh, Kandee... just in time ))) thank you! P.S. I have spoken about you today to my group on my English lesson. Our topic was "The happiest days of my life" and I have told everybody that you teaches people to be happy )))))

hey kandeeee :D i'm rox from bucharest, romania. i'm kind of an artist too.. same tools but different "victims" meaning paper, walls, clothes, ceramics jewelry and so on :D youuu are sooo inspiring..i know you hear this every day but i'd like to thank you because you've inspired me too with make up tips and how to cut t-shirts! if you take a look on my blog profile where are some jewlery that i made, maybe you'll find some inspiration too for your handmade jewlery ideas :D here they were very popular this year and are so fuuun and interesting because i can personalize them according to clients wishes. oooh and something that i think you'd love: a vintage handbag from the 70's with a vinyl that i put on it (i've cut my head hihihi). http://img171.imageshack.us/i/dscf43452.jpg/ i think it looks really nice and i'm glad that it's really unique. well..lots of virtual hugs and i'm waiting for a feed-back if you have time :) oh and don't mind my grammar mistakes please

Kandee, God bless you. As I can see from other comment, that post really did help a lot of people..myself included. You're such a beacon of hope! I spent the whole day on the verge of tears, which is awkward on trains/in college lectures.. I just feel so lost & alone. I don't know what I'm doing.. But you managed to bring a little ligh to my gloom. Thank you for that! xxx

Hey Kandee, my bf whom i loved actually i still love him so much just split up... i dont get it...i did eberythign to be a nice gf...n im a nice girl with a nice heart...i did so much..i don tsay that he did not do anything to make this relation work... but i had to work harder...we were in relation for lil over a year... n so use to each other ...n still at the end of the day he acted so cold... i understand that he is hurt too... but why why all this happens ..i thought he is the ONE... its soooooooooo hard to get over him.... i think about him n cry all day long ..i go to bed at night i cry... i feel so worthless...life feels so worthless...i feel so sad...:(

Kandee I can't begin to express how much light you have brought into my life! There are so many people out there in pain and come to your page for escape and happiness...I just have to say you're such an inspiration to watch. We are all very lucky to have someone like you here :)Just a side note, I just started a new job and have terrible anxiety in new situations. I watched a bunch of your videos the night before my first day to get some confidence, a boost and give me some positive energy. I have to say it help me so much!! I love coming to your site everyday and hope you keep doing your fantastic and fun videos!

I always feel sad and alone, Im with a guy who works away all week, left on my own to do everything with my daughters. I left my emotionally stunted husband for him but I feel my life is on hold, I stopped working so he could work away and the kids and the house and the bloody dogs would be looked after by me. But there is no one to look after me. Ive turned into someone thats always sad and I was so happy when I met him. I have no real friends just no one if it wasnt for the kids I just wouldnt see the point of being around. I never would have thought that before.

Kandee. Today i received some terribly frustrating news. I cried for a little while. Then I made myself a cup of tea and came online to check your blog. Something I do to guarantee a smile. You didnt disappoint. Thank you for your honesty and your positivity. In a world where negativity seems to be all around us some days, its great to know that you are here to make us smile. I love reading your blog, watching your vids and drawing inspiration from you and also from others that come here to comment on your posts. I appreciate the time you put into blogging and making your videos. You make many smile. Your spirit shines thru this blog and videos - more than you realize. Thanks again.

Kandee, you are such an amzaing person, inspiration, amd a gift from above. I cannot thank you enough for posting this :) You are such a beautiful person inside and out. All your videos and blogs make me smile and I know I can count on you to brighten up my day :D<3

Kandee, as everybody before has mentioned you are amazing and such a beautiful soul. You have been an inspiration to me personally to take charge of my life and career. I enrolled in cosmetology school at age of 28! I'm so excited, scared, everything. This is a huge leap for me, having to go to school and work full-time, but I know I will finally be doing something I love when its done. The next 14 months will be hectic, but well worth it in the end. Thanks for all your advice, charisma, and smiles!

Kandee, You are truely a wonderful person. Thank you for your kind words. I always try to keep my head high when life gets me down figuring that I must go thru this to sympathize and help others. So to see you actually put that to use is awesome hugs gal you are an inspiration

Hi Kandee! I was so happy to read your post. It made me cry. Just what I have been going through. Out of work for months. Late on rent. Surgery and trying to heal from that. Plus, being jerked around by a man I am bananas about. Just feeling so bad about myself to say the least. I could feel the love in a lonely place.

This is what I needed to read on a LONG day. It's very encouraging. Espcially right now for me. My better half and I are looking to buy a house soon, which is a HUGE step. I am now working two jobs to save up more. I hope you are having an awesome day yourself. Always love reading your thoughts.

Kandee, you're right..something good always come out of these bad things. When you feel like you are under fire, the end result, all that fire will do to you is burn up the things holding you back.

I encourage you and everyone with an open mind to watch on YouTube "Being Pruned So You Can Bloom" by Joel Osteen. I am going through 3 of the things you just listed, but I saw this video on Sunday night and it shed some light, hope and understanding to my situations. Thanks Kandee :)

kandee, you are seriously the nicest person ever and such a role model! life happens to everyone but it's always nice to see someone who gets trough it with a smile. you make my days so much better. thank you so much for being you =] never stop smiling.

ohh kandee, i dont know if you read your comments, but i have been following you for a little over a month now and every day you make me smile. i think you are such an amazing person. i am going through so many things right now, being in my last year of law school but at a different school than my own in a special study program, away from my support network, searching for a job and trying to have a relationship with a guy who just doesnt get what im going through at all! i've never felt so lonely. so i keep trying to be positive and see the good that will result. because of your words and how you took life by the reins and made your destiny, i know i can persevere too. thanks kandee! keep up the good work!

Wow, you posted this just at the right time for me, and I'm sure thousands of others! You really are a bright light for many of us! Thank you for your uplifting words, sharing your story and always trying to spread smiles and joy!

i CAN DEFINATELY AGREE WITH PEOPLE SAYING THIS COULDNT HAVE CAME AT A BETTER TIME.I HAVE THE HARDEST TIME LOOKING AT THE POSITIVE THINGS SO SINCE IM SO NEGATIVE IT JUST SEEMS TO BE AROUND ME, I PRAY WITH EVERYTHING IVE GONE THROUGH I CAN FINALLY REALIZE THAT LIFE IS TOO SHORT AND ITS TIME TO LET GO OF SO MUCH ANGER AND HURT AND JUST SMILE. AND TO START LIVING MY LIFE IN A MORE HEALTHIER WAY. SO THANK YOU AGAIN -TWANIKA

You are such a sweetheart and a really amazing person. The world needs alot more positivity, so thank you for putting so much out there. I love to hear good people doing good things, so thank you!Much love!

thank you so much! the past few days, everything bad came at me, they are slowly starting to settle and some gets better, some stayed the same. This gives me hope, that there are people who are in my situation. Thank you for being so encouraging :)

Kandee I don't know how you do it. This just came at such the right time, it's perfect. I've been through alot emotionally in my little 17 year old life. I'm alone and sometimes all I have is prayer to help get me through the day. I'm so happy that I found your videos and your blog. Every single time you write something it lifts my spirits up. You are amazing and I pray that God continues to bless you even more than he already has.

There really needs to be more people in the world like you. Don't ever change the way that you are because you truly are something special. =D

Kandee you are so uplifting!! You give the best advice!! Love you!!! And I have a question...after I had my son in June my hair falls out sooooo much. What do you recommend for my hair to stop shedding??! ha

Kandee, you inspire me SO much to just be myself. My quirky, unrealistic, happy about everything, self. Even though people call me immature (im 21) and say I need to "grow up and get a real job" you make me feel not-alone in this cold world. You are a firefly and all of us fireflies need to stick together and show the world that we are bright and beautiful and that they should be just like us! Haha. Not the other way around. I love you so much!

Kandee,You are so helpful. Thank you so much for your inspiration. I don't want to be a make up artist but I do want to be a RN. And you encourage me everyday because you have been throught tough times like I have thank you so much for everything,Kellie

Kandee, if we fall too deep into something (say job or career related thing) and then realize that we are lost and can do nothing but complete it... because without completing it the first half of the hard work means nothing... how then do we motivate ourselves to finish it? How do we do something we don't want to do but we have to do ? how do we find what we truly like?
